Awful inpatient care

September 16, 2024
My inpatient experience here was awful. The lack of care and poor understanding of my disability led to a very poor experience overall. I have made a complaint but it appears to have been brushed under the carpet.

Care of the elderly needs to improve

September 5, 2024
My husband was admitted following a fall at home. His time at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital was not great. He has dementia and is blind, and they did not meet his care needs. He hardly ate while in there and also suffered two more falls while being looked after on a ward. We did not feel listened to and found the whole situation concerning and frustrating.

Hard to get epilepsy appointments

August 30, 2024
I care for my wife who has diabetes amongst other conditions. She would previously get an annual check up/review with her consultant at the QE. This has now stopped and we have been told that if her symptoms flare up we can contact the department and book an appointment. This has not been an easy and we have been unable to use this system to book an appointment which is disappointing.

Excellent surgical team

August 29, 2024
I had an operation on my spine following treatment for a spinal infection. The operation went as well as possible and the surgical team were fantastic. They explained everything to me. Care in recovery and on the ward was great too, with wonderful helpful staff.

Lovely nurses but horrible night staff

August 23, 2024
I was admitted to the QE after suffering a grand mal. The nurses on the ward were lovely and took great care of me. Unfortunately the night staff were awful. I was treated horribly. They were unhelpful and did not want to help me to the toilet. They made my experience very unpleasant and I would not have to want to stay in there over night again.

Decline in epilepsy care

August 23, 2024
I have been under neurology for a number of years with my epilepsy. I previous had appointments every 12 months to monitor and review my condition. This has now changed and I no longer have a routine appointment at all. If I have a flare up I can contact the department and I am then supposed to get an appointment, but this has been difficult to get and I have just managed with the care of my husband and care workers.

Waiting over 18 months for day surgery

August 23, 2024
I have been seen by the endocrinology department and appointments went well. But over 18 months ago I was told that I needed to have a procedure that would be carried out as day surgery. To date I have not heard anything from the hospital about when the operation is likely to take place.
